The Rise of Rome: How a City of Mud Huts Took Over Italy
A cluster of mud huts on seven hills above the Tiber. The Greeks called them semi-barbarians; the Carthaginians had never heard of them. Five hundred years later, Rome would rule everything from Scotland to Mesopotamia. This is how it started — a founding myth that begins with a murder, a king so hated that Romans banned the very word for "king," a republic engineered to stop any one man from becoming one, and a secret weapon no ancient power had used at this scale: instead of just conquering its neighbors, Rome turned them into Romans. From Romulus and the she-wolf to the eve of the Punic Wars, this is the Rise of Rome.
